    I’ve dined here several times because the food is really tasty and lots of options to choose from. This time it was 3 of us celebrating a friend’s bday. We ordered the following: kale chaat, an order of the vegan momo and the chicken momo, shrimp chow mein -THE BEST!!!! I highly recommend this dish, the flavors are just amazing and if you like spicy food, this dish has a really nice kick to it. We also ordered the chicken tikka masala, paneer and an order of the garlic naan and also a cheese naan. For drinks I got their old fashioned Nepal so so good…I got a couple of those, and my friends got avalanche in Everest which hey loved and ordered several too. The service was great but it was a bit slow at first getting out orders and then since we were sitting right across from the bar we could see our drinks made and just sitting there for a while which is why I took a star or two. However, the food is delicious and will go back for sure
